Super Shopping at Publix 2.25.10

The total was $70 but I paid $5.25 for a savings of 92.5% !!! Rite Aid has $5 off $25 so I wanted to shop at Orange Beach to use this coupon. But the tax was $4.12 because of the tax on all the coupons I used , so the Rite Aid coupon pretty much went to that! I don’t feel too badly, though, because I never knew how many more different items they have at this Publix than the ones in Pensacola.For the Italian Days Sale (I printed more Qs at the library.)$1.09 x4 Muir Glen tomato paste$0.89 x2 Muir Glen tomato sauce-$1 x4 manuf Q (print)-$1 off 2 x3 Publix Q= +$0.86 OVR (these are FREE & a money maker just by themselves!)

Paid $2.70 for all!I was having a hard time without my calculator to come up with $20 worth of items. So I asked the lady at Customer Service to ring up the items for me to see if I had $20 and I did. Later I realized that the total was only $18.70 and the rest was tax. I forgot they had tax in AL. So you can do this same exact scenario, just buy $1.30 more to bring up your total to $20. I am thinking of exchanging one of the bread crumbs for the Panko style to make up the difference.
